Henry A. Wise

WILLS POINT CHRONICLEApril 24, 1902

Henry A. Wise died at Terell Sunday night
at 11:15 o'clock after a lingering illness. His remains were
brought to Wills Point on the 11:26 train Monday and interred
in White Rose cemetery in the afternoon, the funeral occurring
from the residence of B. W. Bruce under the auspices of the Odd
Fellows lodge. Several members of the order, also of the A. O.
U. W., came down from Terrell. Henry Wise lived in Wills Point
several years ago and was with B. W. Bruce in the drugstore.
He was a fine druggist, friendly, courteous and of splindid habits
and liked by all who knew him. He has been in ill health for
some time and his death was not unexpected to those who knew
him. He leaves a wife and one child to whom the many friends
of deceased will extend their warmest sympathy.
